TL;DR: AI companies are secretly buying, scanning, and destroying millions of physical books to train their models, permanently locking human knowledge inside private corporate servers. Anna’s Archive is urgently calling on volunteers worldwide to scan and upload books before this cultural heritage disappears forever.
First, I can not save everyone, nor would I accept the ridiculous moral imposition you attempt that I should to.
Second, I said they can keep the books and also that nothing (except the invented rules of capitalism) prevents them from not only not doing so but also from donating the books to a party dedicated to preserving them, like an archive. I’m also perfectly aware that just because they could do so, that does not make such a generously receiving party automagically exist. Once again, I can’t do all the work. I’d expect someone like them or you would be doing their part, too.
